UN-BREAK MY HEART

Toni Braxton’s Secret Marriage to Rapper Revealed

Braxton and the rapper tied the knot eight months ago—but filed for divorce just days later.

Toni Braxton and Birdman’s secret 8-month-long marriage was discovered by TMZ on Thursday after the outlet obtained the singer’s divorce documents. According to the papers, Braxton and the rapper tied the knot on August 8, 2024. However, the union was short-lived, with the date of separation being listed as August 10. The “Un-Break My Heart” singer and her attorney called the marriage “irretrievably broken,” in the documents obtained by TMZ. However, in what appears to be another plot twist, Braxton later dismissed the divorce petition in January 2025. Birdman, whose real name is Bryan Christopher Williams, signed off on it too. Birdman proposed to Braxton in February 2018 and bought her a $1 million engagement ring, among other expensive jewelry like expensive watches and vintage earrings. The pair publicly split in 2019, with Braxton denying rumors that the two were secretly continuing the relationship. In a December 2023 social media post, she called murmurs of a marriage “#FAKENEWS,” claiming that she and the Birdman were simply friends.
